St James Anglican Church 

Located on Roberts Street

Before St James was built in 1911, church services were held at the Moora Police Station, which served many public uses. It was named after a little church at Stoneyfield in England, the birthplace of Walter Padbury, who had bequeathed a large amount of money for its construction. The first rector was Rev.F Gunning who served the parish from 1909 to 1921 and then again from 1927 until 1935. This Victorian Gothic building was designed by William Nelson and built of stone with an iron roof and timber floors by a local builder, JW Clarke. The west end was originally built of timber however was replaced by stone in 1954 when a porch was also added. The church had a new roof installed in 2006.
